DAVOS: Paragliding For 2 Passengers – Together In The Air! (Video&Photos Incl.)

Flying above Davos with a friend or partner is the special part here: two passengers take tandem flights together, so you can share the same mountain views instead of taking turns on the ground. The pilots, including Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan, are praised for calm instruction and clear communication. I especially like the included photos and edited video, and the careful takeoff briefing. The main catch is cost: at $503.51 per person, plus the cable car ticket, this is a major splurge.

You meet at Brämabüelstrasse 11 in Davos and finish back there. You need moderate fitness, a body weight between 20 and 125 kilograms, and reasonable weather. The published guidance says the activity is not recommended for children aged 8 and under, so check carefully before booking for a young child.

Key points to know before you book

• Fly side by side: Two people can take tandem flights together, making this a strong choice for couples, friends, or a special birthday.
• Calm, clear instruction: Your pilot gives you a full briefing on takeoff and landing before you leave the ground.
• Photos and video included: You receive images of both of you in the air, plus video footage, with no separate media charge.
• Private activity: Only your own group participates, rather than joining a large shared outing.
• Plan for extra cost: The $503.51 price is per person and does not include the cable car ticket or transport to and from other attractions.
• Weather controls the day: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund, so keep some flexibility in your schedule.

Why flying together changes the Davos experience

A standard tandem flight already gives you a fresh view of the Swiss Alps. This option adds something useful: you and your companion are airborne at the same time. You can look across at each other, share the excitement, and have photos taken with both of you against the mountain peaks.

That makes this more than a solo thrill ride. It works well as a birthday gift, a couple’s outing, or a memorable break from hiking and sightseeing. One person does not have to wait at the launch point while the other flies. You share the main event.

The flight also offers a slower view of Davos than you get from a cable car window. Once you are airborne, you can focus on the valleys, peaks, and town below rather than rushing past them. You can also talk with your pilot during the flight, which helps make the activity feel personal rather than mechanical.

Meeting at Brämabüelstrasse 11

The activity begins at Brämabüelstrasse 11, 7270 Davos, and ends at the same meeting point. That return to the starting point is useful when you are planning the rest of your day, though you still need to arrange your own transport to the meeting point and any cable car travel involved.

The advertised duration is about two hours. Treat that as a generous activity window rather than two hours of constant flight. It includes the briefing, preparation, flight arrangements, and return to the meeting point. The exact amount of time in the air can depend on weather and flying conditions, so do not build a tight appointment immediately afterward.

You receive booking confirmation at the time of reservation. The activity is offered in English, which is helpful if you want the safety instructions and launch directions explained in a language you understand well.

The briefing: takeoff and landing first

Before you fly, your pilot explains how the takeoff and landing work. This is the part nervous first-timers most need. You are not expected to know how to handle a paraglider, but you do need to listen and follow simple directions at the right moment.

Pilots such as Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are repeatedly praised for a calm manner and clear guidance. That matters more than flashy talk. A steady pilot can help you focus on the next instruction rather than letting your imagination run wild.

Takeoff and landing are the active parts of a tandem flight. Your pilot controls the equipment, but your cooperation still matters. Pay close attention during the briefing, ask questions if anything is unclear, and do not rush because you are excited.

The published fitness requirement is moderate. You should be able to follow instructions and manage the physical demands of getting ready to launch and landing. The supplied information does not give a detailed medical checklist, so if you have a health concern, ask Air-Davos Paragliding before reserving.

Air-Davos Paragliding and the equipment

Air-Davos Paragliding supplies the tandem paraglider, pilot, and required paragliding equipment. You do not need to bring your own flying gear. The practical benefit is simple: you can arrive as a first-time participant without buying or renting specialized equipment elsewhere.

This is a private activity for your own group. That does not mean you fly the paraglider yourself. You are a passenger with a trained tandem pilot, but the private format means the outing is built around your party rather than a larger mixed group.

Two pilots handle the two-person arrangement, with each passenger paired with a pilot. Past flights have included Martin and Fabio, Martin and Jan, and Fabio and Damir. Pilot assignments can vary, so do not book expecting one specific pairing unless the company confirms it.

The flight above Davos

Once airborne, the pace changes. You get a broad view of Davos and the surrounding valleys, with the mountain peaks spread out around you. The setting is the main attraction, but the quiet feeling of gliding is just as important. The flight can be thrilling without feeling like a loud amusement-park ride.

Your pilot remains with you throughout the flight and can point out the view or chat with you as you go. If you are nervous, that conversation can help. If you prefer to sit quietly and take in the scenery, you can do that too.

The published description emphasizes sweeping alpine views, and the flight footage is meant to preserve that perspective. Keep your attention on the present moment, though. Photos and video are a useful bonus, not a reason to spend the whole flight watching a camera.

The ride is not presented as an aerobatic flight. The available descriptions focus on smooth, scenic tandem flying. That makes it a good first paragliding choice for someone who wants a strong sense of height and freedom without signing up for an extreme stunt.

Photos and video are a real part of the value

Many adventure activities charge extra for photographs or video. Here, they are included in the price. You receive photos of both passengers in the air, along with footage of the flight and, according to the available experience details, takeoff and landing moments as well.

This is especially useful when two people fly together. You can come home with a shared record rather than a few ground photos of one person disappearing into the sky. The media also helps friends and family understand what you actually did in Davos.

The service can be quick. In one account, Fabio and Martin sent the photographs and a polished video the same evening. That timing is not stated as a guarantee, so plan on receiving the files according to the company’s process, but it shows the kind of follow-through you might find.

The included media also affects the price calculation. At $503.51 per person, this is not a cheap scenic ride. If you would normally pay extra for a substantial set of photos and an edited video, the package becomes easier to justify. If you do not care about keepsakes, the price may feel steep.

Is $503.51 per person fair?

The listed price is $503.51 per person. For two people, that means a substantial total before the cable car ticket. Transportation to and from other attractions is also not included, so make a full day budget rather than looking only at the headline rate.

What are you paying for? You get a tandem flight, an experienced pilot, the equipment, a private group format, and photos and video. You also get the chance to fly beside your companion, which is the feature that separates this from a basic one-person tandem arrangement.

I see the price as reasonable only if the flight is a major highlight of your Davos visit. It is not a casual add-on for a spare hour. It makes more sense for a birthday, anniversary, first paragliding flight, or once-in-a-lifetime Alpine memory.

The included media improves the value, but it does not remove the cost concern. You should also remember that the cable car ticket is extra. Check the total before booking, especially if you are arranging the activity for two people.

Who will enjoy this most

This outing suits adults and older children who can follow instructions, manage moderate physical activity, and feel comfortable with the idea of being airborne. The minimum published passenger weight is 20 kilograms, and the maximum is 125 kilograms.

The guidance says the activity is not recommended for children aged 8 and under. One account describes an attentive pilot working with an 8-year-old, but that does not replace the stated age guidance. If you are considering the activity for a child near that limit, contact Air-Davos Paragliding first and ask for a clear decision.

It is also a good match for a nervous first-timer. Several pilot names come up in the available feedback, with Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan praised for professionalism, patience, and a reassuring manner. One first-time passenger described the flight as peaceful as well as exciting, which gives you a useful sense of the mood.

You may want to skip it if heights cause severe distress, if you need a fixed schedule that cannot move for weather, or if the price would put pressure on the rest of your trip. A flight should feel like a treat, not a financial headache.

Weather and cancellation rules

Paragliding depends on suitable weather. If poor conditions force a cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. That is a sensible safeguard for an activity that should never run simply to protect a timetable.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the experience start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time are not refunded, and changes inside that same period are not accepted.

The practical tip is to book early enough to leave room for weather changes, but avoid placing the flight at the very end of a short trip if it is one of your main plans. A flexible date gives you a better chance of flying without scrambling.

How to prepare for the best day

Wear clothing that lets you move comfortably and listen carefully to the pilot’s directions. The supplied information does not specify a clothing list, so avoid assuming that special gear is provided beyond the paragliding equipment itself.

Arrive ready for a briefing rather than treating the meeting point as a quick launch stop. You want enough mental space to hear the instructions, ask questions, and settle your nerves.

Keep your schedule open after the activity. The advertised duration is about two hours, and weather or operating conditions can affect the timing. Since transportation to and from other attractions is not included, plan those connections yourself and do not assume the activity will fit into a narrow gap.

Most of all, let the pilot manage the flight. Your task is to listen, cooperate during takeoff and landing, and enjoy the view. The appeal is not technical control. It is the rare feeling of moving through the air with Davos spread beneath you.

Should you book Air-Davos Paragliding?

I would book this for a pair who want a shared Alpine memory and are willing to pay for a polished, well-supported outing. The side-by-side format, calm pilot guidance, and included photos and video give it more value than a basic tandem flight.

I would hesitate if your budget is tight, if you dislike heights, or if you need firm timing. The cable car ticket is extra, weather can change the plan, and $503.51 per person is a serious expense.

For a birthday or a first flight above Davos, this is a strong choice. Book it when the experience itself is the point of the day, not when you are merely searching for the cheapest way to see the Alps.
